SPEAK OUT

May 22, 2008

SPEAK OUT The Tribune invites readers to express their views in the Voice of the People column, which appears daily, and in Michiana Point of View, which appears on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. Letters to the Voice of the People are limited to 200 words. Michiana Point of View columns should be no more than 900 words. A short Michiana Point of View submission may from time to time be used as a lead letter in the Voice of the People column. Both Michiana Point of View and Voice of the People submissions are subject to editing. All submissions must be signed with the writer's full name, which will be printed. Letters, including e-mail, which do not include the writer's street address and telephone number will not be considered for publication. This information is kept confidential but is necessary for verification purposes. Due to volume, it is not possible to print all submissions. Except in special circumstances, we do not print poetry or thank-you letters. We do not print letters announcing events to come, extensive quotations from other material, open letters or form letters. Mail Voice of the People and Michiana Point of View submissions to: The South Bend Tribune, 225 W. Colfax Ave., South Bend, IN 46626. Send them via e-mail to: vop@sbtinfo.com. Or fax them to: (574) 236-1765.
